UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Penn State women's lacrosse alumna Katie Guy (Whitby, Ont./'13) will compete as a member of the Canadian National Team at the 2013 Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) World Cup, to be held in Oshawa, Ont., July 11-20.
A Whitby, Ont., native, Guy will make her third appearance for Team Canada at a World Cup event. The defender helped Canada to the bronze medal as the team's youngest member at the 2009 FIL World Cup in Prague, Czech Republic, and was a fixture for the country's fourth-place team at the World Under-19 Championship in 2007.
At the 2013 FIL World Cup, Canada will play in Pool A and begins competition Friday, July 12 against Australia. The United States, England and Wales round out the team's Pool A counterparts.
Following round-robin play, all five Pool A members, as well as the top two teams from Pool B, C and D and the next highest ranked team, will advance to the championship bracket. The championship round will begin Wednesday, July 17 and culminates with the gold-medal game Saturday, July 20.
A four-year Nittany Lion and team tri-captain as a senior, Guy helped lead Penn State to its second straight NCAA quarterfinal appearance in 2013. A defensive stalwart, Guy set career highs in draw controls (49), ground balls (46) and caused turnovers (42) as Penn State captured a share of its first ALC regular-season championship.
For her career, Guy corralled 103 draw controls, 88 ground balls and 64 caused turnovers. The former standout also added 13 points (10g, 3a) and earned either Academic All-Big Ten or ALC Academic Honor Roll laurels in each of her four seasons.
